As all of you know by now, there was
another mass killing, this time in SC at a historical black church in
Charleston. As all of you likely know by now is that the killer, who
is not going to be named in this post, is a depraved racist and what
you also likely know is that he bought the gun when he was 21 and it
was his weapon of choice. Likely you know the caliber of the gun.
These facts have been all over the
news.
You have also likely heard various
politicians using the rhetoric of blaming race issues and lack of gun
control.
While it is true that this was clearly
a hate crime,and he used a gun ,the real issues aren't even being
discussed.
Has anyone even had the nerve as to ask
why he had such hatred? We have accepted the fact that he did, but no
one is asking why.
Seems it's easier to blame the gun or
the skin color of the person doing the killing rather than addressing
the real problem.
That problem is us. We, as a society,
have created monsters out of our children.
We have taught them moral relativism.
If it's feel right to you do it.
We have taught them that killing is
glorious. Look at any of the real popular games and movies. They are
laced with violence and for some of them violence is the only purpose
of the game.
We have taught them that life really
doesn't matter. It's perfectly OK to kill babies before they are born
or to terminate an elderly persons life because they aren't deemed
productive members of society.
We have allowed fathers to disappear
from families and for family units to brake down.
We have taught them that any kind of
sex is OK and how to use a condom or get an abortion yet we haven't
taught them any kind of morals.
They know the lyrics of many songs
glorifying gangs,drugs and killing, yet most of them can't read or
write.
We have taught them to hate the police
to the point of where they are actively attacking the police.
We have thrown out religious
principals, that there is a God ,and there is a standard that we are
to live by.
Finally we have taught them division.
We have (or should I say the politicians have) divided ourselves up
by race, religion, gender, color,rich, poor (there are way to many to
list) rather then looking at each other as worthwhile human beings.
As long as we continue to be divided
and as long as we continue down this upside down path nothing is
ever going to change.
